The humans soon stepped away, allowing their hybrids to bond with the newcomer while they talked- hopefully on adoption terms, Jin thought.

Either way, that left Jin, Taehyung, and Jungkook in the other hybrid's hospital room without all that much to talk about. It didn't seem to be a problem, as Taehyung had taken to acting out his favourite anime scenes. 

Apparently, the injured hybrid didn't seem to mind the fact that he still didn't know what an 'anime' was or why he was asked to pretend Taehyung was wearing a straw hat. In fact, he was quite enjoying the entertainment. Jin didn't want to say it out loud, but he was glad Taehyung was getting a friend who was genuinely curious about what he had to say, because if Jin had to listen to his impressions of his favourite Digimon characters one more time...

Still, he couldn't help but worry for the poor kid. Not, Taehyung of course; he'd be fine just talking to himself in front of a mirror. But he couldn't help but wonder if the other hybrid would settle in to their family easily. He knew they were a lot to take in, and he hadn't really let himself consider the possibility that they just wouldn't be a good fit for him. But now he couldn't stop thinking.

"... Hyung?" he heard coming from his right. He glanced over to see their new friend eyeing him oddly (Taehyung remained oblivious to his divided attention). "Are you okay?" he whispered.

He broke out into a soft smile at the younger's concern. "I'm great. Don't you worry."

The younger eyed him warily for quite a while before looking in the opposite direction. Jin followed his eyes to the curtains on the wall on the other side of the room. He smiled, standing and making his way around the bed so he could open the blinds, revealing a window. Glancing behind him to see the other's expression, he was pleased to see the surprise on his face.

Taehyung had just finished a one-man battle scene and refocused his attention on what was going on around him. "Ooh! Let's go outside! Can we go outside, please Jin-hyung? Please??"

Jin looked back towards the one on the bed to see him looking about as hopeful as Taehyung sounded. The oldest smiled softly. "I'll go ask the nurse." He stepped outside the room to see if he could find her, leaving the other three alone momentarily.

Taehyung and Jungkook were looking at the other hybrid, who was now staring back out the window with the wagging of his tail betraying the calm smile on his face. Taehyung smiled widely at the sight, Jungkook's more subdued. "This place is boring, I can't believe you haven't been outside since you got here," Taehyung commented.

The other didn't have the heart to tell him that the only times he ever has been outside, it was either the middle of the night in the dark alleys of the city or half dead behind dumpsters in secluded areas. Either way, he'd never been in a place like what he was seeing through the window. In a garden, with soft grass and trees. It didn't look quite as green as he thought it would, but he wasn't going to complain.

Moments later, Jin was returning with a wheelchair. The other frowned a bit, but Jin grinned. "Sorry. They said we could only take you if you went in one of these." The eldest pushed the wheelchair up to the side of the bed and the younger struggled to get up and lower himself into the seat. As a last minute decision, he reached out with his good arm and grabbed his teddy bear. He huffed a bit as he sat down, not liking the inability to move freely. Jin grabbed the blanket off of his bed and laid it over the younger's lap and draped Namjoon's jacket that he'd left behind over his shoulders.

His excitement returned as Jin started pushing him out of the room and down a hallway. He avoided the eyes of the few people they passed until he could see the doors to the outside in front of them. He tucked the teddy bear between his chest and his hurt arm so its head stuck out over the sling and with his other hand, gripped the armrest of the wheelchair in anticipation. Jungkook walked ahead and opened the door for them to follow through, and the hybrid took a deep breath before he was pushed out into the chilly air.

He was practically vibrating in his seat as he was pushed through the garden, trying his best to keep his tail still so it would stay warm under the blanket. He bit his lip to contain his smile as he took in the sight. There honestly wasn't much to take in, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. He watched Taehyung prance around and Jungkook follow behind them with his arms crossed over his chest, looking cold. Jin wheeled him towards a bench on the other end of the garden and situated the wheelchair right on the edge of it so he could sit down next to him. Jungkook joined them, but Taehyung was still enjoying the grass.

"I thought there would be more green," the one in the chair stated quietly.

Jin turned over to look at him with a fond grin. "What do you mean? It's winter." When he could only give the older a confused look, Jin got an even more confused expression. "It's the season where all the leaves die off before they grow back in spring. It's like nature cleansing itself. It's beautiful, really."

"Alright, that's enough hyung. God, you really are Namjoon-hyung's, aren't you? But really, it's not that beautiful. Actually pretty ugly, as you can see. Just wait until spring," Jungkook chimed in.

"I think it's beautiful," the other commented, voice soft as he refused to take his eyes away from the garden. Jin smiled and ruffled his hair.

"See Jungkookie? Someone appreciates what I say," Jin retorted.

Jungkook only snorted. "Yeah, just because he doesn't know any better yet."

The other frowned at the two arguing. That wasn't how either of them talked to him. Why was it different? Did they not like each other? Or was it him they didn't like? Was it-

"Ignore him," Jin said, keeping the smile on his face. Maybe he was thinking too much into this. "He just pokes fun at us. But really, I can't wait to show you what this would look like in the spring."

The other made a face somewhere between a grin and a grimace. "When is the spring?"

"It should be a couple months. Not too long. By that time, you'll have been healed for a while already and you can run around with Tae all you want."

"Mm. That sounds nice."

"So this is really all that's left?" Namjoon asked, eyeing Jiyong and the social worker curiously.

"Yup, just one more signature and he can be yours," the social worker, Suwoong, as he introduced himself, replied with a smile.

Namjoon, Hoseok, and Yoongi took turns signing their names one under another until the documents were entirely filled out. "So... When can we take him home?"

"As soon as you want. You could take him home right now," Suwoong answered happily. "Honestly the only reason he was still in the hospital is because the shelter doesn't have accommodations for injured hybrids, but he's healthy enough to not have to be here anymore."

Namjoon took a deep breath and took a second look back over the papers. "Would it be alright if we took him home tomorrow? I want to get a place set up for him to stay. We don't even have a bed or anything for him yet..."

"That's fine, I'll inform his doctor. What time should we get him ready to go?"

How about the evening? 6:00 maybe?" Namjoon looked over to his friends for confirmation. 

"Sounds good to me," Yoongi replied, nodding along with Hoseok. 

"Alright, we'll make sure he's ready to go by 6 tomorrow evening. Do you have any other questions?"

Namjoon huffed again, temporarily puffing out his chee
